It’s true that there could be some missing context. I know of a couple of restaurants where rude waiters are part of the appeal. Or maybe the stuttering guy was being an ass and this was the barista’s clumsy form of revenge. Or maybe the barista was having a bad day - his bike was stolen or something. Or what the heck, maybe he’s just a prick. I wouldn’t make fun of someone’s disability, but 49% of voters seem to think it’s ok for the president to do it.
Is he really disabled? I’d be offended by that kind of language more than being made fun of. Maybe that’s just me. It probably is.
That’s interesting… you’re offended by it being called a disability, but not by it being mocked? You can be tricky to navigate sometimes 😃
As to whether stuttering is considered a disability, I have to admit that I didn’t know if it was or not. But a brief Google search seems to indicate that it is. at least the American Institute for Stuttering sure thinks so. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also seems to be applicable to stutterers, so while I have no horse in this race and would be happy to agree with you to avoid offending, apparently as an educator I am legally obligated to consider it a disability. Sorry.
